HOSTILE is a tabletop RPG set in a universe that combines elements of gritty science fiction, horror and intrigue. It is heavily inspired by the aesthetics and themes of classic 1970s and 1980s sci-fi movies such as “Alien,” “Blade Runner,” and “Outland.” The setting is designed to evoke a sense of being on the edge of known space, where human life is cheap, corporate interests dominate, and the unknown looms at every corner.

Characters are blue collar people, working dangerous jobs in the hostility of space. Every hazard is trying to kill them: lack of oxygen, vacuum, radiation, excessive cold, excessive heat, aliens, alien infections, poisonous atmosphere, high pressure atmosphere, high decompression rate, high gravity acceleration in large bodies, amongst others.
